Tho attempts at violence in several places
yesterday, and the constant interference with
carts at the ferries in Jersey City and New
York, indicate that the men who are engaged
In the coal strike are losing their temper-prob-
ably because the city is supplied with fuel de-
spite their efforts. The unwillingness of the
authorities in Jersey City to keep the strikers
in order is tho most discouraging feature of the
situation. SO long as Mayor Cleveland thinks
he can help his political schemes by indiffer-
cnce to his duties, this state Of things is likely
o continue.

the granting of permission to the Long Island
Elevated Railroad Company to put up struct-

to be- The delay in this matter is scandalOus.
The cmpany's application was made months
ago. and there is no reason to doubt, that, if
the requisite permission had been given, the
road wonld now be well under way. For no
apparent rrason the Railroad Committee has
allowed the matter to slumbcr more than half
q year. Not only will the proposed elevated
road supply an urgent want, but it will put an
end to the present steam surface road, which
has caused much loss Of life. II should he
built at once.
II is curious TO sec Prince Bismarck posing

tho Constitution Of his country. Yet that is
what he did yesterday in speech in the Lower
House of the Prwsian Diet. 1t was compro-

have anything at all to say about the army. In
stead of fixing the "pcace effective" army for
seven years, tho Government might have in
sisted upon having it settled permanently
